Finally, some common sense.

Coming soon the fight super esteroide MOSLEY VS PAQUIAO

You obviously do not know the Filipino culture which is vastly superstitious, so before you write anything, you need to research your story….

Mayweather should take 1 or 2 to even out the playing field ! ! !

Manny actually has a reason for the blood testing debacle. Manny actually had to give blood two days prior to his 2005 bout with Morales in which he lost. He said in a post fight interview that taking his blood two days prior made him sick and week. He felt he had no stregnth and his punches weren’t packing power. I also thought Mannys view on this was very odd and suspicious but after reading an article about this and a youtube video, I understand now where he is coming from.

Obviously, the author’s opinion is based on the culture he is accustomed at and it is one sided. Understandably, we have to understand the demographics of majority boxing fans, its officials, trainers etc, it’s obvious who they are. Those minority that can see both sides of the argument are virtually silence, whereas, the most vocal will only see it in their own terms, period.
Mayweather jr has its reasons, first, he needs a tactical psychological advantage. The other is his dad’s, unfounded or not, reason to believe pacquiao’s quick rise to the weights has something to do with PED. We cannot discount a remote possibility that Pacquiao, knowingly or unknowingly, may have taken PED from his weight trainer, Ariza and nutritional team experts.
On Pacquiao’s side, obviously, he has superstition built-in his system, its obvious. Well, virtually all Filipinos are in someway superstitious, even the educated elite, it is practically embedded into that 7100 island culture. There are tons of academic textbooks, graduate thesis written on it, primarily in sociological and anthropological studies. Varieties of pre-christian superstitious pagan beliefs are masked within its own version Roman Catholicism.
Now, with PED driven culture in America and money first before pride and dignity psyche, in addition to the demographics of the fans and boxing writers and bloggers? Pacquiao is definitely, on the short end of the stick.
The defamation lawsuit will bring to the forefront of PED effects on boxing, the science of PED cycle into the body and ways to avoid detection. In end result, it will bring a new ways of dealing with PED test in contact blood sport – boxing, MMA, UFC etc

truth coated lies.its a shit article

Your saying NSAC is irrelevant and obsolete all of the sudden. All of the fighters does not take blood test except manny. How come not Shane Mosley who admitted taking it? What a shame..

To The Author PAUL MAGNO:

check out pacquiao’s 2005 interview after he lost to morales (youtube, pacquiao interview with dong puno). there he was complaining about how they took his blood for testing 2 days before fight night and how it affected him. pacquiao is consistent all this time with his reason for now wanting blood testing too close to fight night. it is NOT JUST PLAIN SILLY on the part of pacquiao, he had a bad experience with it in morales1 and he said it in 2005!

maybe if it were you it’s ok, just take the damn random test anyway you’ll earn $40 million but unfortunately you’re not manny pacquiao.

if pacquiao gives in to jr’s demands because of sr’s MERE SUSPICION (his basis is “how could manny be still so fast while bringing his power up the higher divisions”) then how could you stop pacquiao’s dad accusing floyd of being on PEDs because “hey, how come floyd’s undefeated he must be on PEDs”. Then what’s stopping pacquiao from making unreasonable & absurd demands like 1. we should fight in 10 feet by 10 feet ring. OR 2. we should use strobe lights during the fight because a Philippine doctor told manny that PED users can be caught using strobe lights…. use your imagination.

Everybody’s right about accusing Pacman of using PED’s and HGH without any proof the it is also right to accuse Golden Boy and the USADA of corruption!

filipinos are the friendliest people on earth. yet, give them a bad stare and it might cost you your life. the filipinos are a proud race and we are not anybody’s doormat. to ask manny pacquiao to prove his innocence despite having no evidence to the contrary is an insult to him and his country and is an attack to his integrity and to all what he has accomplished.

everybody is asking why would pacman wants to forego 40 million dollars for a stupid blood tests. to wonder why is to fail to grasp where manny is coming from. to pacman, pride and respect can never be reduced in terms of dollars and cents. pacman came into this world with less and he could live with what he has now,, thru hardwork, he managed to earn the respect of the world and floyd just attempted to take this away from him because of his jealousy. and i guarantee you, because of this, there will be hell to pay.

I recall a story about Pacquiao related by an old trainer in a Manila gym after the first Pacquiao-Barrera fight. The Pacman who was then a skinny kid was a new recruit but, to everyone’s surprise, he was beating the hell out of adult sparmates. Annoyed by the kid’s swagger as he blew away bigger and older men, the trainer and other old-timers decided the kid should be put in his proper place: they called in the gym’s most capable professional fighter(not known to Pacquiao) and told them to spar.
You guessed it: the scrawny Pacman buried the unsuspecting guy in an avalanche of punches.
Pacquiao’s size is deceptive. De la Hoya, Hatton, Cotto probably sized him up, saw his slight physique and maybe thought they could take him out by sheer physicality. Those who accuse Pacquiao of taking PED should view his fights as a teenager to understand why he is unafraid of bigger men.
This pride thing is not unique among Filipinos. Americans grow up insulting each other at every turn: it’s nothing to them. But to Orientals, a slight on one’s honor, unavenged, makes a person lose his face for life.
What’s a ton of money if you’re seen as a coward for not trying to defend your honor?

i agree the fight is good as dead because in the first place floyd had no intention at all of fighting pacquiao. he was only out to discredit him. but sorry for him, his family and the golden boy bosses. they won’t easily get away with their grossly irresponsible and baseless accusation.
pacquiao was right in not agreeing to the kind of random drug testing floyd wants because it was not found in the rules of the game stipulated by various boxing governing bodies and athletic commissions.
it could not be part of the contractual terms because it involves the police or regulatory authority of the various state sports commissions. fighters like floyd has no business legislating the rules of boxing. there should only be one set of rules for all fights.
what can be agreed within the level of negotiations involving the fighters and promoters are those matters like purse split, venue, types of gloves, schedule of press appearances and similar nitty gritty in promotional preparations.
the matter is now in the hands of the court. all we need to do is wait for the judgment as to who is right and who is wrong. some people may loss more than $40 million in this court battle. watch for it!

Often the party that changes their story is the guilty party. And no I’m not a mayweather fan just wanted to see this figh materialize as a boxing fan. Just seems to me that tooany excuses and to my surprise not by mayweather. If mayweather had asked for this 20 years ago I might had dismissed it as a silly request, but in a day and age where performance enhancers have been used ndetected by many athletes, in my opinion the Nevada commisioner should reconsider the way it tests the fighters. Pacquiao fans I know this upsets you but you guys keep defending a person who consistently is changing their story I mean Floyd as much as I dislike him agreed to use the glove size pacquiao wanted agreed to the demand of 10 million dollars per pund above 147. Imean seriously come on.

Contract is not binding and enforceable unless the parties put their signatures. Pac offer of 3 blood works is enough concesssion. Why Floyd’s team insists on the “Random” method smells fishy to me. Pac attributed his 2005 loss to Morales to NSAC blood works done 2 days prior to his fight with EM. Paul, do more research before you brand Pac’s action as superstition.

Paul Magno is a certified idiot. I pwned this guy so many times it’s not even funny. He’d resort to editing other people’s posts if he can’t win an argument. Against me, he can’t. Paul Magno is a homosexual, not that it matters.

this article favors Floyd Jr., This article really sucks! Random blood testing would only mean 9ml blood? It would intervene your preparation to the fight because any time of the day there is no limit of getting the blood sample. We want to have limit. In fairness to both fighters, they should come up mentally and physically prepared. If one will loss this fight, there’s no excuse to who’s the best fighter in the world. your article is one sided! this must be deleted asshole!

This writer is OBVIOUSLY BIASED…
This article should be changed to:
The Mayweather vs. Pacquiao Debacle: “SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT(IN FAVOR OF FLOYD)”…
Justifying a WRONGDOING instead of CORRECTING it is a SHAME…

Paul, put yourself in a boxer’s shoes. Once you enter that ring, one vicious lucky punch can end your life. I can understand Pacs position to be suspicious of any demands outside the norms of boxing rules and practices. Not even when they dangle 40$m in front of me. PaC got more than enough money already.

Pacquiao’s legal team is now in the process of filing defamation cases for all those personalities who defamed him in public.

You could be one of them!

Any person who defames another in “public” without evidence is violating the law.

As journalists, let’s maintain our integrity and unbiased reporting.

Urine random sampling is enough, blood is unnecessary. Look it up and do your research and one can find a wealth of information stating that urine samples are as good if not better than blood samples.

spin your head, people, spin your head!
